Abstract
A 61-year-old male patient presented with left shoulder pain and an associated lump. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a subscapularis tear, and subdeltoid lipoma obliterated its insertion. He was successfully treated with arthroscopic subscapularis repair and resection of mass simultaneously.To the authors' knowledge, this will be the first documented case of lipoma occurring under the deltoid muscle associated with the subscapularis tear. The reported arthroscopic approach for resection of the subdeltoid lipoma provides a complete removal, minimal muscle dissection, limited surgical scar, and satisfying functional outcomes. Therefore, it may be considered an option for benign tumor resection in this area.
